In this lesson, I demonstrated how to properly cut the fabric pieces for a skirt and its lining, considering the pattern placement and fabric design. I highlighted the importance of aligning the hemlines and seams for a polished look.
Lesson Steps:
- Analyze the fabric pattern and determine the straight and cross grains
- Place the pattern pieces strategically, aligning the hemlines and seams
- Cut the fabric pieces, ensuring the hemlines are leveled
- Make adjustments for thicker fabrics by adding extra length at the hem
- Cut notches on the fabric pieces for marking purposes
- Cut the lining pieces using the same pattern
- Gather necessary notions like zipper, hooks, and eyes
